Max Planck introduced his fundamental units within his 1906/1914 landmark book, the Theory of Heat Radiation.a In 1964 C. Alden Mead finally had an article published that used the Planck Length. Titled Possible Connection Between Gravitation and Fundamental Length (Phys. Rev. 135, B849, August 1964),b it had been held in peer review for over five years. Nobody quite understood the Planck base units. Mead’s article is the first-known to be published to use the Planck Length. In 1982 John D. Barrow wrote an article, Natural Units Before Planck,c mostly a quick study of George Stoney’s work as a precursor for Max Planck’s work to define basic units. In 1985 Thanu Padmanabhan, wrote Physical significance of planck length d (Annals of Physics, Volume 165, Issue 1, November 1985, Pages 38-58). In 1992, John Archibald Wheeler compiled Physics at the Planck Length,e International Journal of Modern Physics A, Vol. 08, No. 23, pp. 4013-4018 (1993). In 1998 Joseph Polchinski published Quantum Gravity at the Planck Length. f And, in 2001, Frank Wilczek g wrote a series of three articles for Physics Today (Scaling Mount Planck, I, II, and III) about the Planck units and finally the rest of the scientific community really began to take note.
Platform for the Planck Scale: Since 2011 we have explored the Planck scale. Since 2016 this exploration has been compiled within this 81018.com website. This is the first time to consider the possible concrescence and transformations that could be occurring with cubic close packing, sphere stacking, the Fourier transform, and period doubling. These dynamics raise rather unusual questions about this scale that began with Max Planck’s Theory of Heat Radiation a which was followed by the work of these key scholars:
